If you
require a conversion for metres, yards, feet & inches etc.
(also known as bulking) - Enter the length, width and depth of
excavation in metres. The results estimate will be given for the
cubic metres of resultant spoil. Includes quantity and tonnes of
excavations for sound rock, chalk, earth, clay, sand & gravel
Enter the area in square metres (length x width) and the required compacted
depth and the estimator will provide the approximate quantity of crusher run
required for a consolidated sub base.
Enter the length &
width in metres and the depth in millimetres and the estimator will
work out the total volume of concrete required for your project.
Enter the
dimensions asked for and this will calculate the required quantities
of sharp sand, gravel (aggregate) and cement.
Enter the square metres of your project and this will provide
you with an estimate of the building materials required, including
opc/cement by number of 25kg and tonnes of sand.
Estimator for a given area
and slab size, this works out the overall cost in square metres
& yards of any size of flag or slab.
Calculator for floor
screed. Enter the dimensions asked for and this calculates
individual quantities for sand, cement, lime, plasticiser etc with
many variables.
This calculates the
approximate volume of ready mix screed required for the given
dimensions.
Enter the area of brickwork in
square metres and this calculates the sand & cement requirements
for a general 4:1 mix.
Calculator for Brick, block, sand, cement quantities for
single skin, 6", 9" walls.
calculate metal, wood or
timber quantity. Enter the length and height of your wall or walls
and this will estimate the quantities of stud partition, insulation,
plaster board, scrim tape, screws and plaster.
This Calculator will estimate the quantities of bricks, blocks and mortar (sand
& cement) insulation, ties & render required for a given area of cavity
wall construction. It will also provide the approximate costs involved for
cavity work.
Calculate plaster.
Enter the width & length or height of the wall or ceiling to be
plastered in metres. The results will be provided for 25kg bags of
bonding, browning, hardwall, multi finish, board finish, & 1st
coat render. Assuming 11mm thickness. (see below for a more
extensive internal plastering estimator).
Calculator for
render. Enter the dimensions in the yellow boxes and this will
calculate the approximate quantities required for external rendering
including sand, lime & cement etc.
Enter the length &
width and either the height of the gable or the fall to calculate
the areas for tiles, slates, felt etc.
We are always looking to refine these calculators and add more useful tools,
please let us know if there are any other tools that would be useful. Also check
